BECOMING

Value attracts influence. 

“Kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers; they shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth…” Isaiah 49:23 

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” Matthew 5:14 

Don’t chase validation. Don’t build your life from a place of desperation. Understand this people of influence are not pursued because they are loud, but because they are valuable.

Are you taking time to package yourself with value?

Because in life, kings don’t respond to noise they respond to worth. Authority, opportunity, and influence are drawn to substance. In career and business, negotiation power is not just about confidence; it is about what you carry. What problems can you solve? What systems can you build? What results can you produce?

Prayer, fasting, and the Word are essential. So are networks and associations. But even the strongest connections can only take you as far as the value you bring into the room.

Stop wasting time chasing people and opportunities. Focus on becoming. Rise by becoming valuable. Package yourself with depth, discipline, skill, and consistency.

Because you are not meant to be hidden.

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” Matthew 5:14

“Becoming” simply means the process of growing into the person your life requires you to be for the opportunities you want to attract.

It is not a slogan. It is daily development in character, skill, discipline, and mindset so that your life naturally creates value without you chasing people or forcing doors open.

1. What “becoming” means in real life

Becoming is:

Moving from potential → competence

From talent → skill

From intention → consistent execution

From waiting for opportunity → creating value that attracts opportunity

It’s not about being “perfect.” It’s about being useful, reliable, and growing in capacity.


2. What you do to “become” in different areas

CAREER (skills + reliability)

To become valuable in career:

Learn a real, usable skill (communication, sales, tech, finance, leadership, design, agriculture management whatever field you’re in)

Be known for solving problems, not complaining

Show up consistently on time, deliver results, improve speed/quality

Build a track record: “When they give me work, it gets done well”

Value in career = competence + consistency + trust

BUSINESS (problem-solving + systems)

To become in business:

Learn how money moves in your industry

Understand customer problems deeply

Build systems, not just ideas

Start small, test, improve, repeat

Focus on value creation before profit obsession

Value in business = solving real problems at scale

RELATIONSHIPS (emotional maturity + stability)

To become in relationships:

Learn emotional control (don’t react, respond)

Communicate clearly without fear or manipulation

Respect boundaries yours and others

Be consistent, not intense then absent

Heal insecurity (so you don’t chase or cling)

Value in relationships = stability, respect, emotional maturity

SPIRITUAL LIFE (alignment + character)

To become spiritually:

Develop discipline (prayer, reflection, self-control)

Practice honesty with yourself

Forgive and release bitterness

Live with integrity even when unseen

Grow humility + gratitude

Value spiritually = character alignment and inner grounding

3. What “adding value so kings reach you” really means

It is not about literal kings.

It means:

Decision-makers

Influential people

Employers

Investors

Mentors

Opportunity gatekeepers

They “reach you” when:

You are excellent at something useful

You are consistent and dependable

You have a clear track record of results

Your presence reduces problems, not adds confusion

People don’t pursue potential. They pursue proof.

4. A simple truth most people miss

You don’t attract opportunities by trying to be noticed.

You attract them by becoming:

Useful

Reliable

Skilled

Disciplined

Consistent

Then your name starts appearing in rooms you didn’t force your way into.

5. A grounded way to think about it

Instead of asking:

“How do I get people to choose me?”

Ask:

“What would I need to become so that I am naturally valuable in any room I enter?”

That shift changes everything.

From Wiping Tables At Burger King to Overseeing Marketing for Three Hotels on the Kenyan Coast.

My marketing career journey would not be complete without giving credit to the people who opened doors for me and believed in me before I had the experience, title, or credentials to justify their confidence. At the top of that list is Mr. Mohammed Hersi (MH), a mentor to many, especially within the hospitality industry, and a leader who nurtured countless careers at Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa and across the Sarova Hotels family. As I reflect on my journey, I am reminded that God truly orders our steps. In January 2011, I came across a feature article in the Star Newspaper about an event at Sarova Whitesands. Looking back, I know it was more than coincidence. Out of all the articles I had seen, why did that one capture my attention? I believe God was answering prayers and directing my path. At the time, I was involved in event planning. Inspired by the article, I called Sarova Whitesands to explore the possibility of working together on events. I was connected to Nick Lad...

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this.” > — Psalm 37:5

“Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.” 1 Chronicles 16:11 “Commit your way to the LORD trust in him and he will do this.” Psalm 37:5 “Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4 Look to God, commit the desire to Him, trust Him, and let Him work. A Prayer for a God-Given Husband and a God-Built Marriage Heavenly Father, I come before You with an open heart. You know my desires, my past, my pain, my hopes and the future You have prepared for me. Lord, I surrender my desire for marriage to You. I do not want to force love. I do not want to chase what You have not assigned to me. I do not want to enter another relationship simply because I am lonely, afraid or tired of waiting. If You are not in it, I do not want it. If Your presence is not going with me, I do not want to go. Your Word says: “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” — Exodus 33:14 So Lord, let Your presence lead me—even in love. I ask You for...
